If you love food trucks, you’re in luck – the Columbus Food Truck Festival takes place Aug. 15-16, noon to 10 p.m. both days. Come down to Columbus Commons and sample food from more than 50 trucks!

This event is hugely popular, so plan to arrive early if you want to stake out an area of lawn for your picnic blanket. Better yet, take a hint from the trucks and stay mobile.
